    After reading George the III’s letter, I believe that his main theme of the letter was trying to down play the loss they suffered as much as he could. In his letter, George goes on to say while they have suffered losses trying to keep control of the colonies, however he states that they should recoup their losses elsewhere either in other ventures or implement new policies.
